A Pennsylvania man should be put to death for killing and dismembering his girlfriend’s 14-year-old daughter as part of a rape-murder fantasy he and the teen’s mother shared, a prosecutor said Friday.

Three days before she was set to stand trial in the death of her teenage son, a Springfield Township woman fired the attorney she had hired to defend her.

On April 25, Tamara Moore − who had been expected to plead guilty − instead told Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Jody Luebbers that she wanted another attorney. Moore's trial had been set for April 28.

Moore, 53, who faces up to life in prison, didn't entirely explain her decision.

Attorney Clyde Bennett II told Luebbers said that Moore didn't want him to represent her, "based on my analysis of the case."
